I don’t think we should use snaps and appimages and flatpaks for everything just because we lack things as a normal .deb package.
These packages imho should be reserved for applications we can’t get packaged normally, like paid apps or things where no maintainer wants to do it as deb.
Graphics Drivers and compatibility layers or a browser are not really suitable for this package format as there is no need to sandbox them.
A browser brings its own sandbox and as we have seen with flatpaks on the Steam Deck, the user experience without flatseal will suffer by default as people can’t access their files.
My intent here is not to prevent any non-deb packages at all, but figure out where the default packages are incomplete to get it fixed.
We have two topics to get some of that fixeed and i think the problem with the default offering of packages it bigger than just:
